Improvement in flier-boards of spinning-frames



UNITED STATES PATENT FFICEo OLIVER PEARL, OF LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS.

IMPROVEMENT IN FLIER-BOARDS OF SPINNING-FRAMES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52, HB3, dated January 23, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER PEARL, of Lawrence, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Flier-B'oards; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, 'and to the letters and figures marked thereon.

Figure I is a perspective view. Fig. Il is a section on the line R S, Fig. I.

My improvement relates to that part otl the top of a spinning-trame speeder or slubber that supports the top ot' the spindle or flier. lt is situated at the upper front edge of the frame, and is usually termed the Hier-board, its length being` the same as that of the frame and its breadth usually from three to six inches. Heretotbre it has been made ilush or level with the top ot` the frame, the nose of the tlier, into which the yarn runs after it is drawn and before it is twisted, being also on the same level. Vaste that is constantly dropping upon the top ofthe frame is, by Inotion of the air, rolled into small tufts or balls and blown to the flier-nose, which it enters with the yarn and forms knobs or bunches upon it.

By constructing the nier-board as hereinafter described the waste is kept away from the nier-nose, and space is secured for passing a brush below the yarn and keeping the top ot' the frame clean.

til *it In the drawings the flier-board is represented at. B C D. rlhe lower part, B, is at, and is attached to the top ot' the frame A by screws l or other suitable fastenings. From the part B rises the curved part O, and joins the front part or edge, l), which is level and provided with the holes or bearings` Gr G G, Ste., to receive the top or nose I ofthe tlier Q Q. The narrow and elevated position ot' the part D, in which the iertnose has its bearing, prevents the accumulation of waste at this point, and the depression inthe rear ot' this stops` the waste that is moving over the top of the frame from reaching the Hier-nose.

In some eases, where old frames are to be altered, l make a cavity or long trough, as shown by the dotted lines at V, Fig. Il, to receive the waste, this cavity being lower than the tlier-nose bearings.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A Eier-board occupying a position above the level of the top ot' the frame, or above a depression made in the top ot' the frame, for the purpose ot' preventing waste or locks of cotton from entering the nose ot' the flier.
